Bartering never actually took place in the way that most people assume. Instead what happened was that people exchanged favors and gifts. This completely eradicates any type of historical accuracy from what is conventionally referred to as a natural progression from a primitive era free market system into a modern one.
>>61675522we literally have written evidence of barter taking place, historical records all the way back to Ancient Babylonian cuneiform from 5,000 years ago, all you have is your asshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir

>>61675575That was more or less part of what is considered to be ''modern civilization''. Before then there would not be any type of actual bartering between people. The amount of time either systems existed, the former existed for longer than the latter. Which is what anyone who has any type of historical knowledge over the progression of how a free market formed doesn't want to hear. I'm not even calling anyone stupid because I believed the same thing for a long time. I'm not saying bartering never existed, I am saying that the general understanding of it isn't really as accurate as people want to make it seem. It makes the most sense but it is not historically accurate.
>>61675629how would you know? There are no written records from before that time, you are just making shit up
>>61675522>gib object and expecting near equivalent in goods/service returned>"no no actually it happened like this">describes the same shit

>>61675668It's not the same at all if we're talking about the origins of the free market. Bartering is what most people consider to be the very foundation of what we know and understand as a free market today. The gift giving and receiving or favors being exchanged is extremely different from bartering. We can even observe some of the same things happening today in remote native societies. This is a massive contradiction to what many scholars use as an example of a ''factual'' observation of an idea that the free market has more or less always existed in some shape or form.
This is all wrong. I just went back in time and most people sold their daughters for a chance at home ownership
